- Abstract:
- "The King and Queen (left), seated under a canopy decorated with a crown and the royal arms, listen enraptured to a concert; the performers are arranged in a pyramid on the right. ... George III leans back, his hands clasped, eyes turned ecstatically upwards; he wears a laurel wreath and his head is surrounded by a star-shaped halo. The Queen sits upright with an eager expression, beating time; her hair and scraggy neck are covered with jewels (cf. BMSat 6978, &c). On the extreme left, and on the King's right, stands Pitt, very erect, a rattle in his right hand, blowing a whistle attached to a child's coral and bells. Behind the Queen are two ladies ... The royal party are on a circular carpet. On the roof of the canopy sits a demon holding up a purse in each hand, emblem of the supposed avarice of the King and Queen, a favourite subject with Gillray, cf. BMSat 7166, and see BMSat 7836, &c. Three demon hounds, inscribed 'G. R. Windsor', chase a realistically drawn fox (Fox), to whose tail is tied (by a ribbon inscribed 'Coalition') a pot with the features of North. The performers are arranged behind a low semicircular barrier. A stout man with a goat's head is asleep on the left, his hands clasped on his breast; from his pocket protrudes a paper inscribed 'Road to Wynnstay' (cf. BMSat 7068, &c). ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

The Duke stands with both fists clenched, saying, "Come on my Lad! don't fall without a Blow! I'll tickle your Mazzard, if you dare to stand up like a Man!" Lennox, on one knee, clutches the arm of his second, the Duke of Richmond, saying, "O save me Nunkle! - O Lord! - O Lord! - O Lord! Your H--h--ss is above my Match! - O Lord - I'm not fit to fight any body above your Footman". Richmond puts out a hand to restrain his nephew, saying with an expression of alarm, "For heavens sake, forbear! we are nothing but a brood of Bastards! Bastards begot - Bastards instructed - Bastards in Mind - Bastards in Valour - in every thing illegitimate - we are neither of Blood, or of Honor, to cope with your Hi-h--ss!!"

- Abstract:
- "A satire on the struggle between Pitt and Thurlow travestied as a scene from 'Paradise Lost'. Pitt (left) is Death, wearing the king's crown and using a long sceptre as a weapon. Thurlow (right) is Satan; he raises the (breaking) mace to smite, and holds out an oval shield decorated with the bag of the Great Seal and a tiny woolsack. The Queen, as Sin, naked, with snaky locks (Medusa-like), and two writhing serpents for legs, interposes with outstretched arms, looking with terrified face at Thurlow in her desire to protect Pitt. She is a hideous hag with pendent breasts; from her snaky hair hangs a large key inscribed 'The Instrument of all our Woe', and evidently symbolizing Secret Influence ... Pitt's naked body is emaciated and corpse-like; from his shoulders hangs a long ermine-trimmed cloak; his sceptre radiates darts of lightning. His face expresses alarm and determination. Behind him, and guarding the gate of Hell which is indicated by a stone arch, is Cerberus, with the profile heads of Dundas, Grenville, and Richmond, looking up at Thurlow; their body terminates in a large serpent with a barbed tail. Thurlow has wings, and is naked except for a quasi-Roman kilt. He wears his Chancellor's wig, his profile and eyebrow are of a terrifying fierceness; serpents twine round his shield, and spit fire at Pitt and the Queen; a serpent entwined in Pitt's crown, and others in the Queen's snaky locks, retaliate. On the right are the flames of Hell in which demons are flying; smoke fills the background. Beneath the design is etched: 'NB: The above performance containing Portraits of the Devil & his Relatives, drawn from the Life, is recommended to Messrs Boydell, Fuselli & the rest of the Proprietors of the Three Hundred & Sixty Five Editions of Milton now publishing, as necessary to be adopted, in their classick Embellishments.'"-- British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "The Prince of Wales lies on his back on an operating-table (cf. BMSat 7512), wearing his feathers as a coronet. Members of the Ministry holding knives surround the Prince; their operations are directed by Pitt, who is seated in a throne-like chair raised above the others. He points with a long wand at the Prince's star, saying to Dundas, "The good Qualities of his heart will certainly ruin our plan therefore cut that out first". Dundas holds a knife, looking up at Pitt, as if to read a paper which he holds out: 'Thanks from the City of London with £50,000'. Next Dundas, and at Pitt's feet, sits Sydney, holding a knife, and looking ferociously at the Prince. In an armchair by the Prince's feet sits Grafton, staring fiercely at the Prince, and holding a knife in each hand. His left foot rests on a basket containing surgeon's tools; a pair of shears and a saw lie beside it. Beside Grafton and on the extreme left stands Richmond, also glaring fiercely at the Prince; he holds a headsman's axe. At the Prince's head, seated with folded arms and closed or lowered eyes is Thurlow (right), his position indicative of his temporizing attitude, see BMSat 7377. The Prince's left arm droops over blank papers, which appear to be intended for some inscription."--British Museum online catalogue.

Pitt, reaching up to it, is about to fall over a cliff into the pit of hell, from which flames and smoke are rising. He says, "I'll have thee or perish in the attempt, for my ambition knows no bounds". Richmond falls head first into the pit, saying to two demons who wait for him with extended pitchforks, "Spare me this time and you shall have Coals in future without duty" (an allusion to the 'Richmond shilling'). One answers, "All your Great grandfather's [Charles II's] Whores are waiting dinner for you". Immediately behind Pitt runs Thurlow, his wig falling from his head; he raises the mace in both hands to strike at the flying crown ..."--British Museum online catalogue.
